2025 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance PBP - Spice Up Your Live(Barn)

[Karen-W]

Listen, Finnish government - just give Yuka her passport already. Juho's twizzles may not make it another Olympic cycle.

 

[Lanie]

as a 90s girl and a major Spice Girls fan I do love hearing Spice Girls in skating

Yuka is so cute

 

[Braulio]

I love STOP, but today the sound is BAAAD

 

[Skaterbob]

This team looks like the first time seniors, not the Americans in 1st.

 

[tony]

Big mistake for him in the second twizzle. Sloppy throughout, even the straight line lift he was wobbling his upper body ever so slightly.

Give them all the performance mark but the skating skills are probably the most mediocre even in this field. Elements don't really go anywhere and those edges are either non-existent or fighting for their lives.

The better music edit of the Spice Girls programs, that's for sure.

 

[Braulio]

Guignard & Fabbri really are 2 years past their prime at this point. Even in warmup, he looks so much more wooden on twizzles like he's barely hanging on. I so appreciate the extra complexity they have into, within, and coming out of the elements but just no now. I thought they were gonna be slated like 5th or 6th but now I'm wondering if they are clinging to stay in the top 10 by Milano.

come on Tony you know that the home Olympics barring a major disaster they will get at least an Olympic diploma

 

[my little pony]

the Finns are PRECIOUS and UNDERSCORED and I wont be swayed by facts

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Ouch. That could go into last place?

 

[Lilia A]

Pirihara my faves. Mistake on the twizzles? I saw no twizzles, I don't want to hear it, shush.

 

[peibeck]

Fun Finns may be fun, but honestly they were pretty sloppy today.

 

[skatingguy]

Yuka Orihara/Juho Pirinen
Coach: Maurizio Margaglio, Neil Brown
Music: Spice Girls Medley

Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:2 (W:4 M:2 after review) - Juho put his foot down during the 2nd twizzle
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Straight Line Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

Great performance level as expected, but sloppy skating which is also somewhat expected from this team.

67.93 = 6th Place

 

[genevieve]

well that was actually a well-edited and choreographed Spice Girls program. And, unbelievably, Pirinen was completely overshadowed !

And that twizzle flub looked huge to me, which means it was massive

 

[skatfan]

How many shiny pants can we cram into one competition?

As many as possible!

 

[kwanfan1818]

Orihara/Pirinen got the memo.

 

[thvu]

I really did not enjoy that. It lost energy very quickly. The no touch steps were really slow, shallow. The pattern step was really slow and the pattern small. He was unsteady in the straight-line lift. The choreo step was even cringe IMO. I didn't need the lasso-ing.

 

[Wyliefan]

They're so much fun to watch, but they really do need to work on their extension. To say nothing of the twizzles.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Yep. Last place.

 

[thvu]

The Finns got a higher skating skills score than Fabbri & Ayer.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

now that’s a short skirt!

 

[genevieve]

I am so sorry but Natalie looks like she is wearing a giant diaper

 

[NinjaTurtles]

now that’s a short skirt!

Generous interpretation of a skirt. It’s panties with some fringe.

 

[floridaice]

Oh Natalie, I'm sorry you were given that costume.

 

[Wyliefan]

Dancing with your sister in shiny fringed underwear is a whole new level of weird.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Fabulous. I kind of wanted to be their third.

 

[Lanie]

she deserves far better than a sparkly diaper thing

 

[tony]

I hate that they completely stopped before their choreo step and then it literally stood in place for a few seconds as soon as they got into it. This is a sequence I could've done as a basic level skater, there was nothing in it.

Music is a good vibe, but I did not like that program at all. Surprise surprise. Messy.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that is easily going to shoot into the lead.

I still can't get over this atrocious costume that Team Margaglio put Natalie in.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh Natalie, I'm sorry you were given that costume.

Even the color of the costumes are drab, I mean your skating to J Lo and Enrique. I don’t get the costumes actually.

 

[Matryeshka]

I'm trying to decide if her shorts are a worse crime than the Mrazek's AI monstrosity.

Although I will say her fingerography is on point

 

[NinjaTurtles]

The “I’m going loco” head shaking / hand waving choreo to end is so cringe.
